Beginning over 2500 years ago in
China, Dragon Boat racing is a fast
paced water sport. Why not finish a
tough day at work or kick off your weekend
by getting on the water with other women
keen to get fit and have fun. Different
Strokes is Australia’s only gay and lesbian
dragon boat club. We welcome everyone
including friends, family and supporters.
No experience or fitness level is necessary
to start, just a willingness to give it a go!
A highlight of last season for Brigette
Sharp, the club’s President, was when the
women’s team took home gold in the 10s
competition and made the grand finals in
the Chinese New Year regatta, competing
against all of the State’s 56 clubs! “Most of
the paddlers were new to the club and sport
that year, so it was a great achievement.
We’re hoping to go one better this year but
really need some more women paddlers to
get there.”
The club trains Tuesday and Thursday
nights, and Saturday mornings under the
guidance of Head Coach,Tanya White, and
races in regattas about ever y six weeks.
Racing is fast and furious! 200m races are
done and dusted in less than a minute with
20 people paddling together in a boat,
fuelled by adrenalin and competitive team
spirit.
Different Strokes is a relatively new
player on the dragon boat scene but in 4
short years has developed its competitive
edge, underpinned by a strong social spirit
that promotes equality and encourages
positive change. In 2010, Different Strokes
was enormously proud to be the recipient
of the ‘Club of the Year’ award by Dragon
Boats NSW.
So what’s stopping you? If you enjoy a
challenge, are a team player, and like to
work up a sweat then this is the sport for
you! Come along and give it a go. We are
holding a “tr y before you buy” session on
Saturday 4th August at 10am.
